Ankit Sikarwar’s research examines environment-population interactions across multiple scales - from individuals and rural communities to urban centres, sub-national, national, and international contexts.
His work addresses critical questions: How can environmental risks and their overlapping effects be effectively measured? Who is most exposed and vulnerable? How can the heterogeneity of impacts below administrative boundaries be captured? He also investigates the structural barriers that hinder equitable solutions, particularly in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), where socio-economic inequalities and environmental risks intersect most acutely.
To address these complex research questions, he employs an interdisciplinary approach, combining geography, population studies, and advanced spatial analysis techniques such as remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
